Got a few people emailing in asking how to subscribe to my blog. Here’s the short of it!

1. Get a newsreader of some sort – I use the one built into Outlook 2007 so posts arrive like emails – but most of my friends use Bloglines or Google Reader.

2. Add MoreThanDodgeball.com to your subscriptions:

I’m thinking about adding an email subscription option soon, too. Look for it in the right sidebar of the blog!

Funny Huckabee on SNL …

You might not have know it – but that big Superbowl party you had with your students a few weeks ago was illegal. Well, not any more. Yeah!

The NFL will allow church groups to show the Super Bowl on large-screen televisions, reversing a policy that drew criticism from elected officials.

In a letter to U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league will no longer object to “live showings — regardless of screen size — of the Super Bowl” by religious organizations, The Washington Post reported.

An earlier story in The Post about church groups canceling Super Bowl parties over fear of legal action by the NFL led to protest by some lawmakers and conservative leaders.

At the center of the issue is an NFL policy which holds that organizations showing public viewings of its games on televisions larger than 55 inches violate the league’s copyright. Sports bars are exempt from the policy, but last year, the NFL sent letters to two church groups, advising them of the rule, according to The Post.

In its letter to Hatch, the NFL said it would not object to big-screen viewings in churches as long as they are free and held on premises that the church uses on a “routine and customary” basis, according to the report.

Thanks to CMS for the link!
